sandy is still a hurricane at 20 miles per hour. we're still holding out at about 14 miles per hour because this ridge is going to hold sandy up and this area of low pressure will draw sandy in over the next 24 showers, so we could see a portion of her feet up as we go through today and into tomorrow right before it slams into the eastern coast. taking a look at the track of sandy, we still have it as a track 1 hurricane, winds at 80 miles per hour. this is still expecting to slam into the northeastern coastline anywhere from washington, d.c. all the way to new york city. we're in that cone of uncertainty and winds holding possibly at 70 miles an hour. at some point before sandy makes landfall, we're still expecting that repositioning to take place where sandy is not necessarily a tropical storm but we see it become a hybrid storm. as we take a look over the next 24 to 48 hours, these are the kinds of storm surges we'll see with sandy, all that wind on shore bringing all those waters back to the coastline. as we go to coastal massac
